Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.52668 |
Category: | Ubuntu Local Security Checks |
Title: | Ubuntu USN-113-1 (libnet-ssleay-perl) |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing an update to libnet-ssleay-perl announced via advisory USN-113-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) The following packages are affected: libnet-ssleay-perl Details follow: Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena discovered that this library used the file /tmp/entropy as a fallback entropy source if a proper source was not set in the environment variable EGD_PATH. This can potentially lead to weakened cryptographic operations if an attacker provides a /tmp/entropy file with known content. The updated package requires the specification of an entropy source with EGD_PATH and also requires that the source is a socket (as opposed to a normal file). Please note that this only affects systems which have egd installed from third party sources egd is not shipped with Ubuntu. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 1.25-1ubuntu0.2. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-113-1 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 4.6 |
